Arcade Archives Is a Lazy Stop-Gap for Virtual Console

The Nintendo Switch has an impressive amount of first and third-party content after six months on store shelves. It’s pretty surprising, actually. Where the Wii U had month-long software draughts, the Switch has consistently solid first-party releases and a treasure trove of indie titles. Still, there’s one thing that the eShop is missing: Virtual Console.

Wii undeniably has the best incarnation of the Virtual Console with Wii U's right behind it.

Nintendo should work to make Switch's incarnation of the service the best one.

Agreed. I'd also like to see them put up a Miiverse successor, because the destruction of the original instead of a proper carry-over is a depressing state of affairs.

Wii U has the better VC. The Wii never got Earthbound. Also, you can play almost every zelda ever made on the Wii U.

Could've sworn Switch itself was a stop gap for Nintendo

To make up for Wii U getting prematurely axed off

I think you are misinterpreting what a stop gap is. The NES Classic was a stop-gap, the Switch isn't.

Yea instead we have these *ucking mini emulator boxes that sell the *uck out in 2 seconds.

Thanks Nintendo!

I love buying the same 20 year old game for every new platform... amazing that people support nintendo with this crap.

You didn't have to pay for the game again from Wii to Wii U, so it isn't every new platform.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle19d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
